Nottingham Forest defeated Aston Villa 2-1 in the 16th round of the English Premier League (EPL) on December 15, Beijing time. After the match, Nottingham Forest's star Erlanga exuded his deep feelings about the match and his personal pursuit goals in an interview with Premier League Manufacturing.
Erlanga began by commenting on the team's overall athleticism: "We are always moving forward with a passionate style of soccer, all thanks to the coach's careful guidance, the hard work of the staff, and the tireless efforts of all the players. We have all accepted the coach's tactical concepts and have achieved remarkable results in the field. With a long season ahead of us, we look forward to playing well game after game and enjoying the journey."
He further dissected the match against Villa: "Villa played quite well in the first half and created a lot of problems for us. However, our team adjusted its strategy in the second half and managed to turn the game around. To be able to go out there and make a difference is exactly what I'm looking forward to on this trip. Of course, I also aspire to play in every game, and those who made their debuts did a perfect job and they deserve our respect and praise."
Speaking about his first goal since February, Erlanga showed rare humility: "I'm always hard on myself. It's been a while since I've scored a goal, and it's made me feel lost. I felt sorry for myself and the team. Even though the team as a whole is playing well, I still want to contribute more to the team. I know I'm a great goal scorer and I have to keep working hard to find the touch to score goals."
Erlanga's words not only reflect his recognition of the team's overall performance, but also highlight his humility towards his own performance. He is aware of his duty and mission and understands that consistent effort and contribution is vital in a long season. There is every reason to believe that Erlanga will continue to work hard to bring more goals and victories to Nottingham Forest in the coming games.
In addition, Erlanga emphasized the importance of enjoying the process of the game. In the highly competitive Premier League, maintaining a positive mindset is as crucial as enjoying the game itself. Only then can you stay calm and focused in the face of pressure and challenges, creating more opportunities and possibilities for your team.
